SONG

PHillis, let's shun the common Fate, And let our love never turn to hate; I'le dote no longer then I can, Without being call'd a faithless Man, VVhen we begin to want Discourse,

Page 91

And kindness seems to tast f force, As freely as we met, we'le part, Each one possest of their own heart. Thus whil'st grave Fools themselves undo, We'll Game, and give off Savers too: So equally the match we'll make, Both shall be glad to draw the stake. A smile of thine shall make my bliss; I will enjoy thee in a kiss I'le love and hate just where you do, And for't no other reason know. When from this height my love does fall Wee'l bravely scorn to love at all: If thy affection first decay, I'le the whole blame on Nature lay. Alas what Cordial can remove, The hasty Fate of dying Love?

Page 92

I'le grieve as for a friend deceas'd And with the next as well be pleas'd: Thus we will all the World excel, In loving, and in living well.
